Healthy Blender Banana Muffins, Flourless and Gluten Free

These healthy blender banana muffins are made entirely in one blender, use no flour at all, and take about five minutes of hands-on time before they go in the oven. Oats, overripe bananas, Greek yogurt, a touch of maple syrup. Blend until smooth, pour into a muffin tin, done.

I have been making these since I started the blog and they are still the recipe I come back to more than almost anything else I have posted. There is something about a batch of warm banana muffins fresh from the oven that never gets old. I always have a batch in the fridge and they warm up in 30 seconds flat. Chocolate chips, blueberries, walnuts. Every version works.

If you love a blender breakfast that takes almost no effort, my almond croissant baked oats use the same one-blender method and taste like a bakery pastry. And if you always have ripe bananas on hand like I do, my vegan mocha banana bread is another great way to use them up on the same day.

Ingredients in these Healthy Blender Banana Muffins:

Rolled Oats - rolled oats or quick oats will work in this muffin recipe. Be sure to use certified gluten free oats for gluten free

Bananas - you want to use those soft, overripe bananas for this recipe! Since these muffins are naturally sweetened, the bananas provide a majority of the sweetness!

Eggs - bring to room temperature before blending

Greek Yogurt - thick greek yogurt works best for this recipe. You can substitute thick coconut yogurt to make these muffins dairy free

Almond Milk - any nut milk will work well in this recipe

Pure Maple Syrup - you can also sub honey in a 1:1 ratio

Vanilla Extract - adds a lovely subtle vanilla flavour to these blender muffins

Baking powder/soda - the combination of baking soda and baking powder helps these muffins rise and become nice and fluffy!

Sea Salt

Protein Powder - I added vanilla protein powder to these muffins for an extra protein boost! This is totally optional and won't affect the outcome of the recipe if omitted.

Chocolate Chips - I love the banana chocolate chip combination in these muffins! Feel free to substitute or add in any mix-ins you'd like! Walnuts or pecans would also work great!

Equipment:

• 12-cup muffin pan
• High Speed Blender
• Silicone Muffin Cups (or paper liners)
• Wire Rack
